Extracted

Utterly confused about the title of this movie (it's either Extraction or Extracted) and its quality I dived in it, expecting nothing. What I got in return was something that seemed really innovative and new, but was actually a really old idea with a twist. It all revolves around a device that allows you to access and immerse yourself into other people memories and experiences, much like the movie Strange Days [1995]. This time we can witness how that device was made and funded, and eventually tested. The clash of the science and real, corrupt and devious world is another thing that I liked about Extracted. Although the hipster assistant was a bit too much. The cast is relatively unknown but they did their job really good. Dominic Bogart (Anthony) stole the show from lead actor Sasha Roiz (Tom), as the drug addicted accused of murdering his girlfriend. This doesn't mean that Sasha was bad, but just that Dominic was more passionate and realistic. Sasha redeemed himself, either intentionally or unintentionally, by giving his character a dose of douchiness, showing us that not everything is black or white.

Tom and Eric are a couple of scientist working on a machine that would allow them to go into peoples minds and memories. The main purpose of this device is to help autistic and other people with severe psychological and physical disabilities, but as the research starts to reach its critical phase they are forced to take funding no matter what obligations it may bring. Through Richard, their middleman, they contact a mysterious stranger who is willing to fund their research. As it turns out the mysterious stranger had some other things in mind when he decided to invest, but one thing remained the same, the test. They meet on a remote farm in the country, and there it all goes as planned, right up 'till the end where Tom is supposed to exit the subjects mind…

The real rating of this movie should be 7 or 8, but I am giving it a 9 to encourage filmmakers and others to follow their example. With a unique script, several overlapping stories which all make you think and look at things from another perspective, Extracted is an example of how science fiction movie with a restricted budget should be made. You start with a very good concept idea, build characters on it, hire the right people to play them and eventually direct the whole thing. A job well done…

Movie recommendations Rabbit-Reviews.com - Only movies worth watching

I'm taking the time to review this, which I often do not, considering I watch every movie that is released, because the rating on this movie is far to low. It's definitely not a 9 ( my rating standard is tough, ) which I have given it, but it's definitely far from a 5; I gave it a 9 in the hopes it's overall rating would be raised.

Anyways, how people are giving this such a bad rating are beyond me. Everything that you expect in a movie was there, great character portrayals, great writing, and obviously good direction. This director/writer I'll definitely be keeping an eye to see what he can do wit a bigger budget. Great work.

Whats not to like about an unique storyline, excellent acting, and a plot that will keep you guessing to the very end? Extracted is a good movie, it's not your big typical Hollywood production, but none the less this is a fine example of quality film and story making. I don't expect to see much push behind this movie, so the likelihood you'll hear much about it is improbable. This is one of those movies that has actors you've never heard of or seen before, and no big trailer push on the big screen or TV for that matter. This is your typical low budget movie in the sense that it has no name recognition with writers, directors, producers, or actors, but where it differs from other low budget films is this one is actually quite good. Don't let the unknown detour you from seeing this one, it's original, captivating, and engrossing, and worthy of viewer support.

IMDb's recommendation seems to be working well since this is where I found this film. As an avid sci-fi fan, a regular indie film watcher, I can most certainly say this is indeed an excellent film.

When I read the plot, the first that came on my mind was Chris Nolan's Inception, and I love movies with themes of the human mind. Of course this film is different from Inception in so many ways, but Extracted is not a let down. What can also amaze you is, you can tell this film had a low budget, but it was done very well, and looks very professional.

The film starts slow but progresses well. Cast is good, all actors and actresses played their parts well, plot is great, ending is great.

It is true some things may not make sense in the film, but that is why the genre is sci-fi, where things that don't make sense are explained at its best.

Extracted is a great movie. Highly underrated, but excellent.

IMDb got it wrong the film is great great character portrayal very believable strong story and all in all very enjoyable to watch right from the start the idea is captivating which in some cases if you take such a good idea , bad IMDb score= a b or c grade film bad camera work crap script and you start thinking oh great this is one of those eagle entertainment flicks. but this film is the complete opposite.I'm glad i took the time to see it,i passed on it a few times but when i had a read of the comments i thought hey they cant be all wrong which makes me wonder how many other films that I've passed on that are actually good because of IMDb giving it a rubbish score lesson learned i think

you wont be disappointed
